Global Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) Testing Market: Snapshot

The expansive application of NVH is evident in this season of new automobile launches which feature top-end cars such as the 2017 Mazda CX-5, Peugeot 508, Toyota C-HR, and 2017 Kia Soul Turbo. All of these novel models have incorporated the revised and more advanced versions of NVH to benefit drivers with added comfort, relaxation, and privacy.

Different market players are foreseen to share a close distance for exchange of ideas and intelligent discussions related to sound quality and the ongoing NVH technologies. However, the principal motive behind sharing the same stage is expected to be on the part of highlighting individual business presence. In a press release published lately, SAE International would be sharing the same venue with INCE-USA for the execution of their respective events, viz. Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition and NOISE-CON 2017.

Attendees who pay for both the exhibitions will be given access to a combined show floor, technical paper proceedings and conferences of both events, and combined networking opportunities to even communicate with non-automotive industrial professionals.

Amongst the modern tools for detecting NVH complaints are chassis microphones and PC-based labscopes and their software applications. While chassis mics can quickly point out the sources of NVH troubles, PC-based labscopes are predicted to be the pick of the tools as they offer multiple data channels and larger screens. Complex problems such as pitted wheel bearings or seized universal joints causing resonant passenger compartment noises can be easily separated and compared with the help of labscopes.

Global Noise, Vibration Harshness (NVH) Testing Market: Overview

Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing helps in the optimization of the noise and vibration characteristics for enhancing the system performance and increasing the operational comfort. NVH testing solutions are extensively used in numerous industry verticals such as automotive, aerospace, white goods, and transportation. Companies use acoustics and vibration testing analysis to reduce product development iterations and improve the quality of the production processes. Increased demand for subjecting vehicles or its components to testing among automotive manufacturers in order to optimize their development processes has been a key factor for adopting various NVH testing solutions.

The report on global noise, vibration and harshness testing market provides an in-depth insight into the current trends, emerging technologies, key offerings of the players, market share and size of major product types, and the factors shaping competitive landscape. The research study offers an incisive analysis of the challenges faced by market players and the strategies adopted by them to capitalize on the promising opportunities created by different industry verticals. Using SWOT and Porter's Five Forces analysis, the study takes a closer look at the crucial elements of the competitive dynamics and assesses the potential of new entrants into the NVH testing market. The findings and insights are indispensable for emerging as well as established market players to formulate impactful strategies and consolidate their shares across major regions.

Increasing demand for controlling the accosting and noise levels among automotive manufacturers and growing thrust by production facilities to employ advanced investigative techniques to optimize the noise and vibration harshness are the primary factors driving the growth of the market. In addition, constant demand for higher fuel efficiency in vehicles has stimulated the demand for noise, vibration and harshness testing.

Increased demand for used NVH testing equipment may restrain the growth of the market in some regions. However, large number of vehicles being manufactured worldwide is expected to spur the demand for NVH testing solutions. Coupled with this, the adoption of multichannel NVH testing data acquisition systems and the design of advanced simulation techniques in the U.S. are expected to unlock many exciting opportunities for the market players. Furthermore, stringent regulations introduced in the defense, aerospace, industrial, and automotive sectors to mitigate the adverse effects of noise exposure to human health are expected to create ample opportunities for NVH test equipment manufacturers.

Global Noise, Vibration Harshness Testing Market: Regional Outlook

The noise, vibration harshness testing market is expected to witness promising growth in the Middle East and South America. The extensive demand for NVH testing in the Middle East is attributed to recent stringent regulations for controlling noise levels and acoustic vibrations in construction and manufacturing industry. The growth of the noise, vibration harshness testing market in South America is primarily driven by various legislative obligations imposed on OEM manufacturers to design low-noise products.
